I am attempting to install Vista on a machine with a partitioned drive. I
have two 60 GB drives that are using RAID to increase the read/write speed
(I forget which RAID configuration that is). The disk was partitioned into
a 15 GB C: drive and a 100 GB D: drive both of them had Windows XP OSs. I
used the D: exclusively and the C: drive was just for emergencies. Well a
virus came along and I decided that it was time to install Vista anyway so I
got the C: up to the point that I can do the work I need to do and
re-frormatted the D: drive. Now on theVista installation I get to the
"Where do you want to install Windows?" screen and there are no choices.

Basically I need to install a hard drive driver at this time so that it will
recognize the partitions that are already setup. Anybody have any idea
where the appropriate drivers could be found?

TIA Dick

From the maker of the RAID chipset.

What RAID controller are you using? Look in the device manager in XP.
